My keys and fob were stolen out of my truck, I have a spare ignition key. so, is it less expensive to get new door locks and a new fob or have a new key made and have a new fob reprogrammed? I really don't know what to do I just don't want them to be able to get into my truck.

That is unfortunate. You will need to change out the door locks and have the security system reprogrammed. I would take it to the dealer and tell them what happened so they can reprogram the truck for you and switch out the locks. There is no easy fix for this.

Does reprogramming the system mean that I will have to get new ignition keys? Also, I'm assuming that includes a new key fob to auto unlock the doors. Thank you, I will call the local Chevrolet Service Dept and ask for a quote. I'm sure it's going to be pretty expensive as the chipped keys have to be programmed along with the security system.
